I fired up a few games last week and nothing was hitting the spot, so I went out and got Maneater. So far, so good! Very fun and funny. I just hope I get to the point where I can beat some of the bosses.

The beginning is the hardest part by far. You need to focus on building your level while ignoring some of the tougher enemies in each area. You can always come back to get the collectibles that are "guarded".

Thanks. I slew a few bosses last night and, as the song says, I'm an adult now. Such a fun game.

Played: about 4 seconds of DQ11S , House Hutners XII: Endgame...ish...like the part with the heist complete and they do the thing and then Thanos is all 'Thanos is inevitable' but the Cap is like NAH, BRUH...this is still shaky and this can go sideways at any minute but then it's all like 'ON YOUR LEFT'. So right now Captain Marvel is taking shots to the head like a champ smiling through it all and Scarlet Witch is like...mad. Seriously, they need to stop making this woman mad...it does not end well. It's kinda of fun explaining the house hunting process in terms of the MCU...who knew ?

Bought:...I dunno. I forgot already...probably like Yakuza or something. Puzzle Quest? Was that last week? Bah...

This week: God willing, I can get some good time in with DQ11S...

So. Two more weeks of school until 6/25 which is also hopefully the date we close on the house. Packing and purging is happening. My goddaughter continues to be a font of boundless, unrestrained energy, kinda like the Juggernaut. I am so tired ... I just want to play video games . That's not likely to happen before July. But next month, come 7/27 I don't want to hear NUTTIN because NEO The World Ends With You is coming !!!

Oh and j, I will need a full report on Rift Apart. I am going to have to vicariously experience the latest R&C through your words bruh...because them PS5s are like ghosts or Bigfoot or congressional bipartisanship something...not sure any of it exists ...
